Jake can’t wait till this battle with Tommy finally happens. The 26-year-old boxer recently expressed his elation at fighting Tommy Fury on social media, writing, “After multiple failed attempts to get Tommy Fury in the ring, the moment of truth has finally arrived,”
The problem child also makes fun of his opponent, stating there is no way he can get out of fighting this time because Tommy has no excuse. Jake can’t wait to show the world the “true” Jake Paul when he takes on a “genuine boxer,” a man with an undefeated record and who comes from a famous boxing family.
“Tyson Fury has promised he and Papa John will make Tommy retire from boxing and change his last name forever if he can’t beat the YouTuber. Saturday (tomorrow) I’m coming to London to look at all three Fury’s in the eye and shake on that promise. Alhamdulillah!” Paul Tweeted.

It is inevitable that Tyson Fury, a two-time heavyweight boxing world champion who is already a legend in the sport, will put pressure on his younger brother, Tommy, to achieve the same level of success as he has.
”It’s a great fight to watch, it’s a spectacle, and if Tommy has got any ambitions of being a world champion, his name’s Fury. If he can’t beat Jake Paul, I’ll have to change his name. How about that? Do you agree with that Tommy? If you can’t beat him your name’s getting changed!” Tyson said in an interview.
Tommy Fury: "Jake Paul's boxing career ends on Feb 26th. Every time I go out, everybody asks about the Jake Paul fight. After this is done, everybody will be asking how it felt to knock Jake Paul out. The world is about to see what happens when a proper boxer faces a YouTuber."

However, in recent interviews, Tommy has claimed that financial gain is the main motivation for wanting to fight Paul. Tommy and his fiancee, Molly Mae Hague, are expecting their first child, so they need to build strong financial stability for their growing family as soon as possible.
Who do you anticipate will emerge victorious when The Problem Child goes up against TNT the following month?
